GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Court records show Adam Nolin -- the man suspected of killing his girlfriend and later exchanging gunfire with police on U.S. 131 -- was involved in several personal protection orders in recent years.

Nolin, 33, about two years ago tried to file a protection order against his girlfriend's brothers and mother for what he claimed was assaulltive behavior against him.

A judge denied the orders.

Nolan is suspected of fatally shooting that girlfriend, 27-year-old Tia Randall, then leading police on a brief chase along U.S. 131 before crashing his pickup in the S-curve Tuesday, Sept. 27. He then exited the truck and exchanged gunfire with police before he was struck by a cruiser while running.

He was taken to a hospital for injuries not considered life-threatening.

Court records also show that in 2014, a man received a protection order against Nolin for an assault in. Nolin allegedly threatened him by displaying a knife.

Nolin was convicted of assault and battery and malicious destruction of property in connection with the case and sentenced to a year of probation, 80 hours of community service and fines and costs.

In 2009, a woman who had a previous relationship with Nolin also received a protection order against him. She said he kept trying to contact her.

Nolin's criminal record in Kent County includes the 2014 assault and batter conviction, a 2007 conviction for misdemeanor assault and battery that resulted in a 30-day jail sentence, a 2008 conviction for creating a disturbance and a 2012 conviction for driving with a suspended license.
